Welcome! This blog is a laboratory wherein I conduct ongoing experiments with language. Sometimes those experiments manifest themselves in poetry, short story, personal narrative, or something new. Please check out my work and feel free to ask questions or make comments. I blog because I want to connect with other readers, writers, and thinkers - do not hesitate to contact me and even share links to your own work.

Funny in a Creepy Sort of Way

A few months ago I wrote a short story called You Can't Swing a Dead Cat. The story was based on an incident that happened when I was a teenager. Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with an old friend who is intimately familiar with the event that inspired my narrative. He shares my dark sense of humor and thought I should repost the story with this picture of a sign he encountered several months ago while driving. If you haven't read the story yet, check it out and you'll understand why this photo makes me laugh! :)

﻿Correction: The friend who sent me this picture informed me that he did not take the photo; it was sent to him via a mass text message. I'm not sure who actually took the picture. Sorry!
